ABSTRACT:
Chhattisgarh state has a rich diversity of butterflies with a total of 170 species in its diver’s habitat as hilly terrain, plateaus, plains, and agroforest land, including the campuses & backyards in between human colonies. The present study has been carried out in an academic campus of Sant Guru Ghasidas Government Post Graduate College Kurud; district Dhamtari, Chhattisgarh, India. We observed 56 species of butterflies taxonomically placed under five families in which the family Lycaenidae and Nymphalidae have been dominated over the rest three as family Pieridae, Hesperiidae and Papilionoidae. Out of 56 species, nine species were legally protected under Wildlife Protection Act – 1972, with six listed under schedule – II and three under schedule-I.
